Unlike most supermajors of its caliber, the number of major upsets on top 64 seeds at Riptide was rather low, with only three upsets above an upset factor of 5 on the first day of singles. One of these upsets was on #2 seed {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, who was upset by #15 seed {{Sm|Syrup}} 3-1 (upset factor 6), an upset that surprised many players, as Miya was widely considered to be one of the best players against {{SSBU|Steve}} due to his frequent matches against {{Sm|acola}}. The other two upsets were also upset factor 6: #4 seed {{Sm|Hurt}} lost 2-3 to #29 seed {{Sm|Candle}}, while #16 seed {{Sm|Peabnut}} lost 1-3 to #113 seed {{Sm|Rob.}} Despite being upset, all three players entered top 24 on the loser's side. | Unlike most supermajors of its caliber, the number of major upsets on top 64 seeds at Riptide was rather low, with only three upsets above an upset factor of 5 on the first day of singles.

Top 8 also went mostly as expected. The top 4 sans Sparg0 notably were eliminated by the same player who had defeated them on the winner's side: Riddles lost 1-3 to Sonix for 4th, Sonix lost 2-3 to Shuton for 3rd, and Shuton lost 1-3 to Sparg0 for 2nd. This tournament marked Sparg0's second P-tier win in a row, putting him as the frontrunner for the #1 spot for the LumiRank 2024.2 season. In addition, this tournament was Shuton's best supermajor performance since {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 7}} two years prior. Finally, this tournament marked the end of Sonix's 2nd-place streak and the first time he did not make Grand Finals at a major/supermajor since {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}. | Top 8 also went mostly as expected.
